Rain or Shine: An Unforgettable Adventure in Lungern
When the rain threatened to dampen our spirits in Lungern, our guide Sibylle turned the day into an unforgettable adventure. Join me as I explore the stunning film locations of “Crash Landing On You,” from the mystical Lake Lungern to the dramatic Giessbach waterfall, and the thrilling Sigriswil suspension bridge.
A Rainy Start, A Thrilling Adventure
The day began with a sky full of ominous clouds, a sight that would usually deter most travelers. But for me, the thrill of the unknown is what fuels my adventures. My fiancée and I were in Lungern, ready to embark on the Crash Landing On You Tour with our guide, Sibylle. The rain was relentless, but Sibylle’s enthusiasm was infectious. She greeted us with a warm smile and a promise of an unforgettable day, regardless of the weather.
As we set off in the minivan, the rain drummed a steady rhythm on the roof, creating a soundtrack for our journey. Sibylle, ever the adaptable guide, suggested an alternative route to include a gorge tour, a decision that would prove to be a highlight of the day. Her knowledge of the area was impressive, and her passion for the locations we visited was evident in every story she shared.
Discovering Hidden Gems
Our first stop was the picturesque Lake Lungern, a hidden gem that seemed even more mystical under the veil of rain. The lake’s serene beauty was captivating, and I couldn’t help but imagine the scenes from the drama “Crash Landing On You” that were filmed here. Sibylle’s storytelling brought the scenes to life, and despite the rain, we felt like we were part of the story.
Next, we ventured to the Giessbach waterfall, where the rain added an extra layer of drama to the already breathtaking falls. The historic grand hotel stood majestically against the backdrop of the cascading water, and I could almost hear the echoes of the past in its walls. Sibylle’s insights into the history of the hotel and its role in the film added depth to our experience.
A Suspension Bridge and a New Perspective
The final leg of our journey took us to the Sigriswil suspension bridge. As an adrenaline junkie, the thought of crossing a suspension bridge in the rain was exhilarating. The bridge swayed gently underfoot, and the view of the Bernese Alps shrouded in mist was nothing short of spectacular. It was here that Sibylle’s passion truly shone, as she shared stories of the film’s characters and their journey across this very bridge.
Despite the rain, the day was a thrilling adventure, filled with unexpected surprises and breathtaking views. Sibylle’s ability to adapt and her passion for the locations made the tour an unforgettable experience. For those seeking a unique adventure, the Crash Landing On You Tour is a must-do, rain or shine.
